The excimer laser is one of the most precise instruments available for use in modern medicine, and it can be programmed to match exactly the refractive correction your eye requires.

This is a version of LASIK eye surgery more commonly associated with (PRK).

Epi-LASIK is a recently adopted type of LASIK eye surgery and like LASIK it is performed to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

Because of this, and the individual healing response of each patient, there are some variables of patient response to the treatment.

After the epithelial separator has created this ultra thin flap the flap is lifted and carefully folded back.

Epi-LASIK could be the best vision correction treatment option for you if you have relatively thin corneas, as patients with thin corneas in the past have been rejected from traditional LASIK.

If you have been told in the past you have thin corneas and therefore are a candidate for LASIK, Epi-LASIK may present a new option for you!

I hope as others have said that time is a great healer and that it eventually disappears on its own, as it is driving me nuts at present, perhaps using sunglasses with a side cover on might help me, well its something I'm going to try.

If you have been researching LASIK eye surgery you might have come across something called Epipolis Laser In Situ Keratomileusis (Epi-LASIK).
